Description DetailsThe unwavering and well established goal for liberation exists in very rare seekers. Otherwise most forget the goal and get stuck in the sadhana—spiritual practice and sadhan—the instruments and the means of the practice. Gnani Purush Dadashri says that, ‘The one who has not become free from the instruments, has not attained the goal.’ However, we can say that he is involved in practicing some means for attaining moksha so he is moving towards the path of the goal. But the main thing is, one must know his precise goal then only the awareness will remain.

Valmiki Ramayana – Greatest Medicine for Mankind
The story of Ramayana is prescribed as textbook for students. Sita and Rama are worshiped as prime couple. No need to mention about reciting it. Whether Valmiki was satisfied with simple narration of the story? Seshendra Sharma denies it.
He analyzed it mentioning that to understand the inner meanings of Valmiki Ramayana, the scientific knowledge is essential.
The underlying secret of the sage’s mind will be known through the knowledge of science.
It is the firm opinion of Seshendra that the argument that “the sciences are for scholars only” is a conspiracy hatched by Selfish scholars and lazy uneducated persons.
Seshendra who has democratic ideology and conviction on science and literature informs the public about the secrets of Ramayana expounded by Valmiki. He explains that Valmiki dedicated ambrosia (The Greatest Medicine) named “Kundalini Yoga” to the mankind. The poetry in the metre of Anushtup Sloka is the honey coating to the medicine. It was explained with great introspection and exemplary scholarship. He concludes that the Ramayana is older than the M...

Excerpt DetailsSri Sundara Kanda is nothing but
Kundalini yoga
Many great secrets that are most venerable are given in
Srimad Ramayana. Therefore, it became a sacred text which is
daily read as a ritual. It would not have been elevated to such
level if it were only a narration of a story. We do not read Manu
Charitra* daily as a ritual. We do not consider that book as a
means of achieving salvation. That is the difference between these
two books. The great secrets in Ramayana are the most helpful
to all seekers of salvation. It is so because Ramayana has Gayatri
Mantra and Kundalini Yoga which are revealed in the Sundara
Kanda. The very first verse of this Kaanda gives indication of
that subject. The initial seven verses are like the head of this
Kanda. The first verse is: ‘Tato Raavananeetaayaah Seetaayaah
satrukarsanah iyesha padam anweshtum chaaranaa charite pathi’.
It means;’ (Hanuman) who is a terror to the enemy decided to
travel along the path which is followed by Charanas in search of
Sita who was taken away by Ravana’. That is the meaning....

Description DetailsMistakes or faults that happen at the time of unfolding of the karma in the life of a human being are the results of mistakes made in the previous life. Now when he understands that it is wrong for these faults and mistakes to happen, then begins the time of turning back from those mistakes. Here, revered Dadashri explains the principle of pratikraman that since the time one understands one’s own mistake and repents for that, does pratikraman, his opinion changes. Karma are bound through opinion and one can become free from that opinion if one has attained samkit (right vision of the Self and the doer) and thus become free from karma. And when one does pratyakhyan, asks for the energy not to repeat the error, absolute humility arises for God, and he continues to receive the energies naturally. The kashayas verily makes one commit mistakes and create liabilities. But one should clear this right away by doing pratikraman of that. Pratikraman should be really shoot-onsight.

Description DetailsWhat was the proportion of spices in the food? Then he can describe the saltiness, tartness or spiciness through the knowledge mediated by intellect. So, in fact, there are two divisions: the eater of the food and the knower. Physical body complex eats, the ego suffers (bhogavey) with only egoism that ‘I liked or disliked’ it. Now, as long as one is the doer-sufferer, he believes that ‘I am eating’ and ‘I am suffering’ for sure. When one attains Atmagnan (Self-realization) at that time, ‘I’ comes in to the state of the Self, then one realizes that ‘I am not the eater’ but I ‘the non-eater’, am only the ‘knower’ of this. One is not ‘the eater’ yet to believe oneself to be ‘the eater’ is considered unawareness (ajagruti) and to ‘see’ and ‘know’ that ‘the eater’ is separate, is considered awareness (jagruti). Therefore, revered Dadashri says that after Self-realization ‘the eater’ is eating and ‘the Self’ is only the ‘knower’.

Description DetailsWhat does pratikraman mean? The mistake that has happened is wrong, I am not agreeing with it. Pratikraman is to change our opinion. Prakruti means our charitra moha (discharging illusory conduct) and it would harbor opinions but You want to become free from opinion. You (the awakened One in Akram Vignan) do not have desire to do this again. You have to do pratikraman to get rid of this aggression from your nature (swabhaav). If one does not do pratikraman then one’s nature will not change, it will remain as it is. That is why absolutely revered Dadashri points out to ‘see’ the pure (shuddha), settle the files with equanimity and solve any atikraman.

Description DetailsThe Peculiar Conundrum is a political allegory, substituting difficult legal concepts with rules of sports.
In the fictional country of Aminica (the United Franchises of Aminica), General Managers (Senators) and Head Coaches (Representatives) ignore many of their constraints listed in the Compact (Constitution) and act with impunity.
The Sports Commissioner (President) and Referees (Supreme Court Justices) likewise do as they please.
The country founded upon sports freedom, where soccer is named as the Supreme Sport of the Land, gets transformed by open corruption into football played to the death, where back-room deals enrich sports politicians and We The People are oppressed.
But one man, Brandon Crawford, with the help of his brothers, work tirelessly to understand the peculiar conundrum, the odd phenomenon, of members of Congress and federal officials seemingly acting contrary to founding principles with impunity, so we may finally end the methodical push toward absolute tyranny....

Excerpt DetailsFrom the Back Cover:
Envision for a moment, the following nonsensical sportscast:
“Only seventeen seconds remain on the clock as we near the end of the sixth inning. The soccer ball is caught by Right End Tom King, only 9 yards from home plate.
“To keep from being called for ‘Traveling,’ King dribbles the ball but still manages to get past the Goalie without being tackled. Moments later he slam-dunks the ball through the basket to score a touchdown and the Cattails win the game.”
It wouldn’t take much of a sports enthusiast to realize something was strangely amiss with this “game,” as the rules and terms from soccer, baseball, basketball and football were all intermixed into one bewildering event.
And, with millions of die-hard sports fans across America who intricately know every rule and regulation of their favored sport, there is about zero chance any huckster would succeed in passing this off as a legitimate game.
But, replace the game with politics, law and government, and tragically the most sacred of our country’s founding legal and moral principles may be substituted by their polar opposites with nothing but the weak...

Description DetailsParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan gives a wonderful aphorism that one should discharge their present circumstances with equanimity. By merely making a firm resolution to discharge present circumstances with equanimity so many poisonous karmas get washed off. This resolution itself will make us keep equanimity during bitter circumstances. One gets attached to favourable circumstances whereas abhors unfavourable circumstances. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan shows us that all the circumstances are here to get discharged so there is no point having attachment-abhorrence on them. circumstances that come together are because of fate; they are result of karmas bound in past life. Equanimity of an enlightened being is such that even if someone cruelly beats him; he not only keeps equanimity but also blesses that person. He does not see fault of that person even to the slightest extent. This edition of Dadavani reveals the true meaning of equanimity which has manifested in the speech of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan.

Description DetailsSleep is associated with the body. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to sleep for only about an hour and half out of 24 hours. That too, if his body would fall asleep for 45 minutes then another 30-45 minutes he used to be in the awareness of his Self, again if his body would fall asleep for 10 mins then soon after he would be doing his vidhis with awareness. So, like this, in totality, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to sleep for only one and half hour during the entire night and still he used to be fresh as ever. The one who is sleeper will sleep while the one who is knower of it will know it. The pleasure of sleeping is of the Non-Self complex. In the this edition of Dadavani, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan beautifully explains what is sleep, how does it come, what is the duration of genuine sleep, how can one stay as Self while sleeping, etc. which will help the reader to get rid of extra sleep.

Description DetailsThe novel opens in London in AF 632 (AD 2540 in the Gregorian calendar). The society is illuminated by the activities of the novel's central characters, Lenina Crowne and Bernard Marx, and others. Lenina, a hatchery worker, is socially accepted and contented, but Bernard, a psychologist in the Directorate of Hatcheries and Conditioning, is not. He is shorter in stature than the average of his Alpha caste—a quality shared by the lower castes, which gives him an inferiority complex. His intelligence and his work with hypnopaedia allow him to understand, and disapprove of, the methods by which society is sustained. Courting disaster, he is vocal and arrogant about his differences. Bernard is mocked by other Alphas because of his stature, as well as for his individualistic tendencies, and is threatened with exile to Iceland because of his nonconformity. His only friend is Helmholtz Watson, a lecturer at the College of Emotional Engineering. The friendship is based on their feelings of being misfits (in the context of the World State), but unlike Bernard, Watson's sense of alienation stems from being exceptionally gifted, intelligent, ha...

Description DetailsEveryone has heard of the explorers Burke and Wills, who died when attempting to cross the Australian continent in 1861, but few will know of William Landsborough, a quiet unassuming man who in the middle of the 19th century explored and opened up vast areas of land in north-eastern Australia to settlement and farming.He was considered such a good bushman and explorer that he was chosen to lead one of the four search parties sent out to look for Burke and Wills in 1861. In the process of this search he became the first man to cross Australia from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Melbourne. Adding even more interest to this already fascinating story, is the account of William’s boat trip north to the Gulf of Carpentaria to commence the search, during which he survived shipwreck and mutiny on one of the Barrier Reef islands.
In his day, Landsborough’s exploits were fêted but now he is largely unknown, ironically perhaps because he was such a capable bushman and explorer that he lived to tell the tale.

Excerpt DetailsThe tragic story of the Burke and Wills expedition is now part of Australian folklore and we know the sad irony that by the time that the relief parties set out, only one member of Burke’s party, John King, was still alive. But in 1861, with none of the rapid means of communication we now enjoy, all the people of Victoria knew was that the explorers were long overdue on their return trip to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
In 1860, Victoria and South Australia were involved in a race to achieve the prestige of the first crossing of the Australian continent from south to north. There was intense interest among the populace of the southern states in what lay in the unexplored country to the north of the settled areas, and when proposals to send a party to cross the unmapped interior were announced, it caused great excitement.
Both states were planning to send an expedition but it was the Victorian one, led by Burke and Wills that was the first to set off in August 1860, in what amounted to a triumphal procession through the streets of Melbourne, past thousands of flag waving and cheering citizens.
Burke, a former police-superintendent, a...

Description DetailsThe relationship between parents and children is a fundamental link in one’s existence. Even our great Gods had parents whom they respected and revered.
In today’s time this relationship is getting complex. Parents have a long list of complaints against their children such as that kids don’t obey them, wake up late, don’t study, pick up wrong habits, fight with others, etc. Children fail to meet their parents’ expectations. Similarly, kids feel that their parents don’t want to understand them, are overly strict and so on.
In this book, these close relationships within the family are the basis of discourses (satsang) with Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One).The existing problems are discussed from the worldly view as well as from the spiritual view. Special attention is given to the growing rift between the new and the old generation. Parental duties and the duty of children, adolescents, teenagers and young adults towards their parents are explained with clarity and compassion. Param Pujya Dadashri has pioneered the basis of positive parenting and how with love and affection, harmony can be achieved in...
